Foglight indicator

So the indicator light for the fogs lights, use to work....but now it doesn't? Or are you saying that it never worked in the first place?

There is no fuse going to the instrument foglight on/off indicator, its probably a blown bulb.

If the indicator never worked and you're trying to make it light up, then you must have wired somthing differently. Are you using the light switch that came with the US fog light kits?

The foglight indicator I think is connected to the stalk switch, and it would not light up with a custom switch.

The US and JDM foglight kits uses the same fog lights, different mounting brackets, and the JDM stalk being on the right hand side.

What you can do is buy a US foglight kit and install the wireharness and stalk, and connect them to your current JDM fogs. This way the indicator will light up, however you will have two spare fog light assemblies. You could probably use them as spares incase the ones you have now crack.

Hope this helps....good luck on whatever you decide to do....

It will only work if the US wiring harness and US switch are used. That will limit you in other ways though (foglights can't be used independently.)
